The Science Behind Peptides
Clinical-grade peptides that deliver visible results
What Are Peptides?
Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as building blocks of proteins like collagen, elastin, and keratin. These proteins are the foundation of your skin’s structure and appearance.
When peptides are applied topically, they send signals to your skin cells, triggering specific responses such as increased collagen production, improved skin barrier function, and enhanced wound healing.
- Overview
How Peptides Work
Signal Transmission
Peptides penetrate the skin's surface and send signals to cells, instructing them to perform specific functions like producing more collagen.
Protein Synthesis
They trigger increased production of essential proteins like collagen, elastin, and keratin, which maintain skin structure and elasticity.
Cellular Renewal
Peptides support cellular turnover and repair, helping to reveal fresher, younger-looking skin with continued use.
Proven Results
Multiple clinical studies have demonstrated the efficacy of peptides in skincare:
- of users saw visible reduction in wrinkles after 8 weeks of using Matrixyl peptides (Clinical Study, 2019)
- improvement in skin firmness reported with GHK-Cu copper peptides over 12 weeks (Dermatology Research, 2018)
- reduction in expression lines with Argireline peptide after 4 weeks (Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2020)
Types of Peptides We Use
Signal Peptides
- Matrixyl & Palmitoylated Peptides
What they do:
Signal peptides “tell” the skin to produce more collagen, elastin, & other structural components. They work by mimicking fragments of broken-down collagen, signaling the skin to rebuild & strengthen itself.
Benefits:
- Improves firmness & elasticity
- Smooths fine lines & wrinkles
- Enhances skin density & texture
- Supports long-term skin structure
Our Peptides:
- Matrixyl 3000 (Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 + Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7)
- Matrixyl Synthe’6 (Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38)
- SYN-COLL (Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5)
- Hexapeptide-9
- Acetyl Tetrapeptide-2
Carrier Peptides
- Copper Peptides & Oligopeptides
What they do:
Carrier peptides deliver essential trace minerals-especially copper-into the skin to support repair, regeneration, & recovery processes. Known for improving skin resilience, supporting collagen activity, & calming inflammation.
Benefits:
- Supports skin repair & recovery
- Promotes collagen synthesis
- Helps strengthen skin resilience
- Soothes stressed or compromised skin
Our Peptides:
- Copper Tripeptide-1 (GHK-Cu)
- Oligopeptides
Neurotransmitter-Inhibiting Peptides
- Expression Line Smoothing Peptides
What they do:
These peptides help reduce the signals that cause repeated muscle contractions in the skin, softening lines, crow’s feet, & frown lines-without freezing the face.
Benefits:
- Visibly softens expression lines
- Smooths dynamic wrinkles
- Helps prevent wrinkles from deepening
- Creates a more relaxed, refined look
Our Peptides:
- Argireline (Acetyl Hexapeptide-8)
- SNAP-8 (Acetyl Octapeptide-3)
- SYN-AKE
Enzyme-Inhibiting Peptides
- Collagen & Elastin Protection Peptides
What they do:
These peptides help slow the breakdown of collagen & elastin by inhibiting enzymes that degrade skin structure. Instead of only stimulating new collagen, they help protect what your skin already has.
Benefits:
- Preserves skin firmness & elasticity
- Slows structural aging of the skin
- Supports longer-lasting anti-aging results
- Helps maintain skin integrity over time
Our Peptides:
- SYN-COLL (Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5)
- Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7

Frequently Asked Questions
When will I see results?
Most people notice early improvements in hydration, skin texture, and overall glow within 2–4 weeks of consistent use. More meaningful changes in the look of fine lines, firmness, and skin resilience typically appear over 8–12 weeks, as peptides work by supporting your skin’s natural renewal processes over time. Think of this as progressive skin remodeling, not an overnight filter.
Can I use this with other products?
Yes. Peptide Ritual™ is designed to layer beautifully with most skincare routines. You can use it alongside cleansers, toners, moisturizers, sunscreen, and even actives like retinoids or exfoliating acids. For best results, apply peptides on clean skin and let them absorb before heavier creams or oils.
Is this suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes—our formulas are built to be barrier-respecting and non-irritating. Peptides are signaling molecules, not harsh actives, so they’re generally very well tolerated. If your skin is highly reactive, we always recommend doing a small patch test first, just to be safe.
What exactly do peptides do for my skin?
Peptides are cell-signaling molecules that tell your skin to support processes like collagen production, repair, and barrier strength. They don’t “fill” wrinkles—they help your skin behave more like younger, healthier skin over time.
Are your peptides actually strong enough to work?
Yes. Peptide Ritual™ uses clinically studied peptides at meaningful concentrations, not trace “label-only” amounts. Our focus is signal strength, formula integrity, and real biological relevance—not marketing fluff.
Can I use this if I’m already using retinol or acids?
Absolutely. Peptides pair especially well with actives like retinoids and exfoliating acids because they help support recovery and barrier function. Many people use Peptide Ritual™ in the morning and their stronger actives at night—or layer peptides first, then actives, depending on their routine.
Will this clog my pores or feel heavy?
No. Our formulas are designed to be lightweight, fast-absorbing, and non-greasy. They focus on skin signaling and barrier support, not heavy occlusion.
Is this safe to use long-term?
Yes. Peptides are meant for consistent, ongoing use. Skin aging and skin renewal are continuous processes, so long-term use is actually where peptides shine the most.
Do I need to use it every day?
For best results, yes. Peptides work through repeated signaling over time. Daily use—once or twice a day depending on your routine—gives your skin the steady cues it needs to maintain and improve its function.
What makes Peptide Ritual™ different from other peptide skincare?
Most brands use peptides in very small, marketing-level amounts. Peptide Ritual™ is built around clinically relevant peptides, purposeful dosing, and formula design that prioritizes skin communication—not just surface feel. In short: this is signal-driven skincare, not filler-driven cosmetics.
